HI THERE
Just a thought , I have often made my own alum boxes , for projects
that I have built myself , and have always wanted to solder
the edges shut , for a more pleasing look ,
or sometimes solder two pieces together.

Won't happen. Or at least no one that I know of, in 20+ years of
hamateur activity, has ever managed to do it.

The only way I know of to seamlessly join pieces of aluminum, as
you describe, is by welding them. To do so, my understanding is that you
need special equipment and an inert gas environment.

I suppose you could try using Epoxy, but I don't know how good the
result would look.
